Default 2011+ Sticking clutch pedal fix

Took this from another forum. I havent had problems like this but i might try it out since its easy enough

My clutch pedal stuck under high RPM shifts. I fixed it.

You can either buy a new line upgrade, buy a new clutch OR do what Im about to show you...

Warning: If you break shit, crash, die, stab yourself in th eye with pliers or in any way become more ugly than you already are after following this DIY guide... I assume no responsibility and you suck.

Step 1 - Remove top clutch kill switch assembly for cruise control. Twist it

Step 2 - Remove clip and arm off of the left side of the pedal, clutch hydraulic arm. HOW you ask? Remove the clip on the left side, then push clutch slightly in to remove pressure, you will feel when it will move freely. Pull left and twist arm parallel to the marching surface aka ground.

Step 3 - Pull pedal towards you/seat/back of car. All the way until the spring pops out of its white plastic cup/seat

Step 4 - Remove fuckshitard spring from your life, reassemble everything else, and realize that your pedal assembly is now a GT500 clone with no stupid ass "assist spring" holding the pedal down

My clutch started sticking 2 days ago. I've searched all these threads on svtp with no luck.

Car is waiting to be taken in for service on Monday (The dealership is so backed up with the holidays)

Along with my air bag light being on now this has happened.

Also my car has started "jerking" when I back out of my garage. I thought it might be the traction control but it isn't. When I turn the wheel right or left something catches and pops. Almost like it slipping on ice then catches the cement.

Does anyone know why this spring is on the GT's and not the GT500's? After doing this mod, does the clutch pedal feel different?

Look under the dash and compress the clutch a few times. You will see that at a certain point the spring hits what i would call a bind point. You can actually buy the GT500 clutch pedal assembly or just modify yours to be similar to the GT500. As midnight said your clutch engagement will feel firmer without the helper spring.

Maybe I will do this, and it will help even more with the JHR clutch line AND DOT 3/4 fluid.

I haven't done this but I have tilton TSR-1 fluid 622* boiling point. That and the JHR line combined the clutch feels awesome.

Good reason to do it. It feels like I am pushing air compared to my 65. I have a feeling that after driving this 2013 Mustang, the next time I am in my 65 is going to be pretty jerky at first.
